-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Raising someone 

is the most noble undertaking
a human being can possibly do.
Where such action takes place,
the strength to open the door

to a hope-filled future overflows.
Let's train together!
Let's grow together!

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"'I say all this solely for the sake of the nation, for the sake of the Law, for the sake of others, not for my own sake.'

From 'The Rationale for Writing "On Establishing the Correct Teaching for the Peace of the Land"' 

(WND-1, 164).

"Cherishing the same noble purpose as Nichiren Daishonin, we tirelessly engage in dialogue to realise the ideal of 'establishing the correct teaching for the peace of the land.' This is our great pride. We are striving to build a society where the principle of respect for the dignity of life shines and all can lead happy, secure and hope-filled lives.

"When we pray with a vow to achieve this, our lives brim will the same strength and wisdom as the Buddha. Let's courageously and sincerely talk with others and cultivate understanding as we plant and nurture the seeds of Buddhahood in their hearts. Let's also always support our dedicated fellow members, especially in times of hardship, sharing struggles and joys together."

Towards a Hope-Filled Future with the Daishonin's Writings, A Society That Shines with Respect for the Dignity of Life, from 25th March, 2023 issue of the Seikyo Newspaper, translation released June 2023
